I wish I could understand you, girl You and your wicked ways Just when I think that we got something goin on You're freakin out on me Last night we did it on the kitchen counter You know I love it when you throw me down But we can never have a happy ending You know I hate it when you throw me out Oh, I could never find a piece like this again Is it worth it? I'm such a mess, baby, you know you drive me crazy too You know it, you know it's true When we get dressed up to hit the bar Feels like a holiday At 2am you wanna hit me with your car In an alcoholic haze Using your words like a gun to mow me down You're so hot when you're mad Just admit you wanna pin me to the ground 'Cause I'm the best you ever had I must be insane to be taking this abuse But I know I've got good reason I don't need a good excuse When you tell me that you want me There's no way I could refuse I swear I'm not confused

Battle Cry 03:22
I'm under pressure, I've been locked in here too long Gotta make my fantasies real now Sometimes I wonder if I'm working at a dead end job Just spinning my wheels, just spinning my wheels I know I'm gonna be ok 'Cause everyone's allowed to feel bad on a nice day Remember why you're here, remember who you are Never ever lose the reason what you're doing this for I've been sayin this for a long time, don't let life pass you by Dream a little dream and take it to the world Maybe I should take my own advice and not get left behind Hands into the sky and scream your battle cry I'm talkin, don't change the station yet Need time to get this into your head You're gonna make mistakes along the way You'll think you're spinning your wheels, just spinning your wheels I promise that you'll be ok 'Cause no one wants to see you feeling bad on a nice day You know why you're here, you're gonna be a star Gonna show 'em what it takes to really make it this far

Take It Easy 03:13
She started looking for love in all the wrong places She was hittin the bars and she was goin so hard and it was all the same faces Her friends were getting engaged and she was hating her age She was sick and tired of not ever being center stage She's gotta make it happen 'cause the clock is ticking down The pressure from her parents and her friends, she's gonna drown You're movin too fast, Slow down, girl You're moving too fast, slow down You gotta take your time and slow down, girl You're moving too fast, slow down Take it easy, take it easy I never understood the rush, the fear of never falling in love I supposed that I will find her soon enough The one that makes me feel crazy enough to get married I'm not the one in the crowd, see what the fuss is about I'm waiting on something real Not gonna change up my ways for christianity's sake Why can't we do it our own way? Oh, you gotta let it go before it consumes you Because you never know where the love will bloom Life is gonna pass you by, do something for yourself Someone else is out there looking for you So she was looking for love in all the wrong places She was hittin the bars and she was goin so hard and it was still the same faces Her friends were getting engaged and she was hating her age She was sick and tired of not ever being center stage She's gotta make it happen 'cause the clock is ticking down The pressure from her parents and her friends, she's gonna drown

No Good 03:28
I remember the days so young and green I was looking for romance and someone to laugh with You were the new girl on the scene I was a shy boy but you paid attention It took a while to figure out That I was your drug and you were addicted Doin your best to keep me down But not anymore How did I let it get this far? I was in control till you came along I'm picking up the pieces from the floor I don't wanna see your face for the rest of my days Took your poison to the head 19 years old, I feel half dead Give me a reason not to turn around Not to leave you here for good Just know there's nothing you could ever say Baby, we're done, you're just no good We got involved so easily I was a nice boy but you were just crazy You never let up, stop squeezing me The honeymoon's over, baby Just wanted a girl to make me smile When you start drinking, you get wild Calling the cops at 4am Now baby im asking Don't know how I stuck around this long Can't take all of these arguments I'm ragin, ragin We got some issues and it feels so wrong Ya baby I just don't know
5.
Run 03:20
I've had enough I gotta get away from here and put these people in my rearview mirror The stress is killing me with every little shockwave the street is cracking underneath She's got a problem with the way I talk and I'm packing everything I need No! I'm not gonna let this happen no more You know you gotta runaway Oh, I gotta know what I am meant for You know you gotta runaway No! I I gotta get away from this town You know you gotta run away Oh! Sick of the same old roads I've been down You know you gotta run away My ascension from the choices that I've made Pre-hypertension in a world gone mad The nervous system serves as such a dead giveaway And I have given all I have You think it's easy and it's just a vacation I'm writing my own epitaph I can't take it I will break soon I can't stop dreaming I will let them down
6.
I know sometimes I don't say the right things And I know sometimes it seems I'm not listening Every time that I'm out of town, you're gettin mad 'cause I'm not around And I get that nasty phone call and here we go again If you want to, we can go there I'll go down swingin, not afraid to make a scene Let's make one thing clear, this will be over soon Say what you gotta say, just don't say things we don't mean I need to do the things I have to Just to make a living and pay the bills Preoccupied with the way I groove, never stoppin, always on the move because no one ever made it standing still We're always talking a lot about How we always seem to bottom out You will never let me live this down
7.
Instigator 03:05
Lately I've been hearing things, disturbing things that you've been doin And I did not set this up for nothing just to see it ruined You came along after the fact, I thought you always had my back Now I see that your a flake and you manipulate and take What's not rightfully yours, it's too late, and so I'm closing the door Spoken like a token instigator and I'm callin you out Talk too much and then you always gotta turn it around Keep on tryin, I ain't buyin, I know what you're about Better watch it 'cause you're toxic and I'm flushin you out We were supposed to be a team and I know it's done I can't believe I was deceived, you think you know someone Cause I just imagine what might happen if I'd let you stay Just looking out for my family and I won't let you break What's not rightfully yours, it's too late, and so I'm closing the door
8.
It's a beautiful day, feelin' the sunshine on my face It's a beautiful day and I've got some time to waste On this beautiful day, I hope it's just like this tomorrow A beautiful day, oh yeah I'm gonna wake up and get myself a cup of coffee Open the windows and the doors Baby, let's go outside, I can feel the air, it's warm Let's go for a long ride, the speakers are blaring Oh so here we are walking through the park Let's lay down this blanket and listen to the birds sing It's so nice to be outside, we can watch the sun go down Burnin that daylight while we're making out I'm not gonna stay inside, 'cause anytime that I could die And I just wanna live I wanna take you by the hand and love you like I know I can Show you who I am
9.
When they told me that you had away There was nothing I could do to keep you here I was standing on a roof top of a hospital in Baltimore Losing my religion and my youth I thought I'd never love again And I did not even care to see my friends How would I ever smile again? This depression is a monster but I'm still alive See the light of day When they told me that I had to let you go Words could not describe my feelings, you will never know Standing on a roof top of a hospital in Baltimore Losing my religion and my youth
10.
Lost at Sea 02:47
I wish you were here You would make it all so clear I would love to spend my life with you If you were next to me I would be so happy Nothing in this world compares to you I am lost at sea The tidal waves won't let me be But I could tread forever If you'll have me My ship has sank to the ocean floor But I don't need that boat no more We could live together wherever We wash ashore I am such a fool Thinking I'm worthy of you I will always be a wallflower Would you give me a chance If I asked you for this dance? I might take a chance to win your heart
11.
I'm goin outta my mind I think I really mean it this time I'm sick of standing at the back of the line I'm goin outta my mind I wanna quit my job so bad, can't wait till that last day I wanna smash the windows with the prices that I've paid Just tell me one more that you know this is gonna pay off 'Cause I've been stretching myself so long that my arms just might break off I eat, sleep and bleed this dream and some days it feels for not The fakes in the magazines just don't know what they got But nothing's gonna deter me, this is the path I have chosen I'll never settle for less than perfect, everyone around me know's it
12.
I can't believe I'm standing here I thought my world's ending was near I guess I was wrong about that 'Cause life goes on I've learned that nothing's set in stone I've got a family of my own I keep my head up for them 'cause life goes on No one's gonna save me, no one's gonna overtake me Nothing to prove and I got so much to lose But I'll get through, i'll get through I've felt the weight of gravity I'm only who I have to be The moment arrives so fast and then it's gone I'm just a stranger in this town Someone is up 'cause someone's down You can envy what others have but then it's gone We could stand here all night I could tell you it will be alright until you see first hand, you just won't understand
13.
Wasting Away 03:07
I spent a lifetime wasted, wasting away The memories fade, wasted, facing the day Life on the road gets hazy I think my girlfriend hates me 'Cause she don't know how to rock a show Looking through all the phases There and gone, no traces The back and forth and the highs and lows The Rendezvous every Thursday Friday was the worst day The hangover lasts much longer now How we loved it, the shots kept coming The party was a part of our lives The beautiful girls, free drinks, we just enjoyed the ride We never knew where we were going Sometimes I sit and wonder how we made it here alive Worldwide social, can you hear me calling you? You're the reason we kept this dream alive
14.
Oh baby, I'm coming home tonight And I've missed you for the longest time Sleep tight, I will be there in the morning sunlight Take all of me, then I'll beg for more You're all I need, the one I adore Girl, you know I love you I'm always thinking of you I know you're waiting for me Oh baby, the things I'll do to you I'm wanting to locked up in your room All night where we'll sleep till the morning sunlight Goodbye, lonely, now you got me to yourself Takin' it slowly, till you grab me by the belt Until next time, 'cause I'm leaving in the morning sunlight Take all of me, then I'll beg for more You're all I need, the one I adore Girl, you know I love you I'm always thinking of you Promise you'll still wait for me
